(Corrects net income from second-quarter in 2015 to 252 million
reais, not 80 million reais, including minority interest in 2nd
paragraph.)

SAO PAULO Aug 10 (Reuters) - Brazil's JBS SA,
the world's largest meat processor, posted better than expected
second-quarter profits on Wednesday, helped by a sharp increase
in revenues from its pork business in the United States, said
the company.

São Paulo-based JBS earned 1.657 billion reais ($529
million) in net income last quarter, compared with 252 million
reais in the year-earlier period. The number was much higher
than analysts' average consensus estimate of 439 million reais
for profit in the second quarter, as compiled by Thomson
Reuters.

JBS said its second-quarter revenue grew 12 percent to 43.6
billion reais. Its U.S.-based pork business saw an increase of
70 percent on revenues. The company also reported good
performance from its Brazilian processed meats unit Seara,
despite the country's recession.
